This weekend, when Christopher and I both returned from our trips, we took our bicycles out for an afternoon picnic under the cherry blossoms on the potomac. I've gotten cabin fever this winter, working indoors so often and living in an apartment without any kind of outdoor space, so I was dying to be outside in the sunshine this weekend. The day was perfect--sunny and breezy and smelling like spring--and I kept wishing I could bottle it (as the old adage goes, those who cannot bottle, photograph). This week I have an embarrassment of riches--two of my best friends from college are visiting and so is Christopher's twin brother--but I promise to keep posting (if only for you, Mama!). XO.

These pictures are beautiful! Riverside picnics are the best way to spend sunny days for sure. Your outfits always inspire me to keep putting fun outfits together (for the blog still trying to get off the ground and for me) and to still be myself in them.

zomg cherry blossoms!! I have a nutcase helmet too, but I'm sad to say my possibly-vintage raleigh (sir walter) is languishing on a toronto sidewalk 400km away :(anyhow. you look so springy and cute! have a great week.

Oh my goodness, these pictures make me wish I was there right now. Beautiful weather and the perfect outfit to enjoy it in! I really love how you paired the cardigan with such a simple and sweet skirt. Lovely!

Awww, this photo is like a dream. Love Cherry Blossom season. I really wanted to go for a bike ride this morning, but still too scared to ride around too much traffic. Booo ... So I save myself for really early bike rides on the weekend!Kel xo

California Bikes This cruiser also has a forward pedaling desigen, meaning the pedals are shifted four inches forward to allow for better leg extension and more open and comfortable seating position.beach bikes
